Description
Posted Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois (medium coat). Meet Portia. This sleek Belgian Mal mix came to the Shelter as a stray. She is looking for an active adopter to help fulfill her daily needs of stimulation physically through walks and play as well as mentally through positive reinforcement based training. Portia would likely enjoy a home with another dog to run around with. The added enrichment would help to fill Portia’s cup of daily activities and keep her happy. We do not have any history of Portia with kids or cats. Portia is still learning life skills and manners such as potty training and walking nicely on leash.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
